Jodie decided on relaxing, though she suspected Aiden would make a mess of things as he often did.

Darkrai's purpose was to fight beside his trainer, and so went with fighting.

Dark Pit finished eating and left the room without a word.

"I'm gonna just go flying for a bit, so if you see any random lightning that's me," Phosphora announced, before flying out the door at lightning speed.

Ryuko stood up and began stretching.

Asuna looked around. "Is everyone finished?" She questioned.

There were general nods. A while later, everyone was doing what they'd chosen to do in terms of entertainment. A Risen wandered briefly into the bathroom before being put to sleep and dragged out by an apologetic Darkrai. Other than that the only way the girls knew the battle was even happening was the occasional shout or Risen moan.

Asuna sighed. "It has been a long time since I've been so relaxed," her voice was airy and her body was sprawled out in the hot spring.

Ryuko nodded, her stomach against the bottom, her face in the water, Senketsu hung up on the other side of the room.

Viridi sat completely still, her eyes closed. "I never want to leave."

Meliodas watched the fighting curiously.

Natsu burned through a couple of Risen, the water sizzling up whenever they hit him.

Ryuk watched the fighting, floating silently.

"I actually can't remember ever being so relaxed," Lucina admitted.

Jodie sighed as Aiden decided to knock a pile of sliced cucumbers into the hot spring. He'd likely gotten bored and slightly frustrated.

Viridi glanced up at where the previous pile was. "How did that happen?" She questioned, trying not to tense.

Asuna made another pile appear, ignoring what had actually happened.

"Aiden," Jodie stated simply.

"Oh, okay." Viridi answered, trying to clear her head.

Asuna looked around at everyone. "Do any of you think there's a way back?" She asked quietly.

"I hope so..." Lucina murmured. "I can't imagine life without the Shepherds for an extended period of time." She chuckled softly as she said this.

Ryuko didn't say anything, just tried to forget about the outside world.

Asuna sighed. "Are they like your family?" She paused before continuing. "I can't imagine living without my family..."

"In a way, yeah," Lucina smiled. "Henry's one of them. I wish I could tell you he's the strangest, but... in a way, some of us are stranger. I mean, there's Nowi, who acts and looks like a young child despite being thousands of years old. Then there's Frederick. He's... Frederick." Lucina shook her head. "But they're actually pretty great people when you get to know them."

Asuna smiled, Lucina's family somewhat reminding her of her own. "Is that why you're not afraid to talk to him like you do?" She questioned, amusement in her voice.

"Yeah," Lucina smiled. "He can be a lot more violent than he seems to be right now, by the way. Trust me, I've seen his worst. It's... really bad."

"As long as he doesn't try to attack any of us," Asuna responded. "So you keep him in check?"

"It's a team effort," Lucina nodded. "Although he is pretty obedient."

Asuna laughed at this, thinking of everyone outside. "I wonder why they would chose to fight over finally relaxing..."

"Well Henry is Henry," Lucina shrugged. "Not sure about the rest of them.

Asuna sighed. "Some of them aren't even fighting, they're just...not here."

"Well I can understand wanting to be alone," Lucina replied.

"So can I," Jodie agreed. She looked over as Aiden knocked down the second stack of cucumbers. "Aiden's always there though. Don't get me wrong, I think he's pretty cool, but at the same time..."

Asuna gave a quick nod. "It must be pretty...interesting to never be left alone. To always have someone watching you."

"It's not too bad. He's usually pretty quiet, and he protects me," Jodie shrugged.

Viridi glanced up at Jodie. "You don't really seem like the type that needs protection," she commented.

Asuna sighed before restocking the cucumbers again.

"It's not something you can exactly fight on your own. It's other entities, kinda like Aiden, only they try to kill me," Jodie explained. "Aiden protects me from them." Aiden threw a cucumber slice at Jodie's head, undermining her previous statement. "Well, he can be a bit annoying at times..."

"That's...interesting, to say the least." Asuna laughed. "Throwing things at you is a sign of love!"

"I guess so, yeah," Jodie laughed. Aiden grumbled and threw a few more cucumbers.

Asuna sighed and replaced the cucumbers. "Aiden, if you can hear me, please try not to throw everything."

Aiden immediately threw a cucumber to show he wasn't going to listen.

Lucina laughed. "Looks like you've got your hands full," she noted.

Asuna laughed at this, but replaced the cucumber all the same. "Two can play this game!" She said jokingly.

Ryuko agreed with Lucina.

"He says you can't see him, so technically you can't," Jodie said, after Aiden made more weird murmuring sounds only she could hear. Aiden threw another cucumber at Asuna, this time from another part of the room.

Asuna made a cucumber drop from the ceiling where the first one had been thrown.

Aiden was taken slightly off guard by this. He threw a cucumber.

"You guys are entertaining!" Midori said smiling. Kaze kept silent and stared at viridi as if he had seen her in the past and hated her than. "I am hungry. DAAAAAAAAD IM HUNGRY CAN YOU GET ME SOME FOOOOOOOOOOOOOD?" Midori said. "AHHHHHH!" He said forgetting she was even there. "DAAAAAD!" Midori started to complain. "Be patient Midori." Kaze said. Midori jumped on Viridi and complained that she wanted fruit

Asuna repeated the process, a small smirk on her face.

(Um, Solar, Viridi is in the girl's hot spring, Kaze is not allowed in there. We're going to ignore your post, sorry.)

Aiden continued to throw cucumbers. Jodie laughed, amused by the sight of what appeared to be Asuna having a cucumber war with nothing.

Asuna made a serious face before she began to pelt some hardcore cucumbers at where the ones hitting her were coming from.

Lucina started laughing as well. The entire situation seemed like something that'd happen back in Ylisse. Likely it would be Kellam trying to be noticed and starting a cucumber war with Vaike, knowing the two of them. Just the thought of the knight most people somehow managed to forget existed was enough to make her laugh harder.

Ryuko sat up, watching Asuna in confusion. "What exactly is she trying to fight?" She questioned, raising and eyebrow and moving a piece of dark hair from her eyes.

Aiden placed himself in Ryuko's body. The usual thingy happened. Jodie was still laughing, but Lucina stopped and stared.

"Uhh... you okay?" Lucina looked at Ryuko with some concern.

Aiden, still in Ryuko's body, threw a cucumber at Asuna.

Asuna gasped in surprise as she saw Ryuko. But her being her, she gave a wicked grin and pelted cucumbers as fast and as hard as she could at Ryuko's body.

Aiden managed to get used to the body, and was slightly excited by the fact that he could throw more than one cucumber at once. He began throwing them as fast as he could.

In a few moments, this had turned into a full blown war. Asuna was out of the spring, spawning and throwing as many green pellets as she could. She was using all sorts of fancy moves to dodge and throw.

Aiden continued to throw cucumbers, wondering briefly why he'd recieved no resistance from Ryuko.

Lucina stared in confusion. She had no idea what was going on. Ryuko's eyes had gone white and she'd randomly started throwing cucumbers.

Asuna continued this process.

Ryuko was laughing, watching as the scene before her unfolded, wondering who would win.

Viridi opened her eyes to see all the commotion going on around her. She was silent for a moment before speaking. "None of this is happening."Then she closed her eyes again.

"I'm inclined to agree," Lucina responded.

Aiden eventually stopped throwing cucumbers for a moment. He then grabbed a huge stack of cucumbers that he'd assembled and threw them all at once.

Asuna yelped in surprise as she was hit with the giant wave. Glaring at Aiyuko, she summoned a couple hundred cucumbers midair, and made them surround him/her in a threatening way.

Dark Pit had decided to go to one of the baths. He puzzled over the signs for a minute, cursing Pit's inability to read, before hazarding a guess. He walked in to see two of the girls throwing cucumbers at each other, one of them wearing nothing and with the most blank expression on her face while the other was sort of laughing and... equally naked. Blushing madly, Dark Pit gave a squeaky yelp and ran back out of the room.

Aiden glanced over, shrugged, and began plucking the cucumbers out of the air to throw at his opponent.

Lucina was finally catching on, a smile spreading across her face. She heard a sound and turned to see Dark Pit running out of the room.

Jodie looked over to see the retreating angel as well. She laughed some more, realizing just how ridiculous the situation was.

Asuna completely ignored the newcomer, just continued spawning and throwing the weapons.

Ryuko couldn't stop laughing at how the angel must have felt, looking in on the current scene.

Viridi's eyes snapped open when she heard the noise, giving a small laugh at Dark Pit's face.

Dark Pit ran to the next building and sat in the corner, hoping to calm himself before anyone else could notice him. His face was still bright red, and he was struggling to regain his composure. His thoughts were racing, swirling in such a confusing way that he had to try to steady even them.

Aiden suddenly stopped throwing cucumbers to try to make expressions of some sort with the face he was borrowing. He managed a sort of smile grimace, causing Lucina and Jodie to laugh.

Asuna burst out laughing at the sight of Aiyuko's face. "Have you never tried to smile before?" She managed to say between gasps.

Aiden shook his head. He gave a shrug.
